Moonbird Soul Pathways

06/09/2026

There are moments in this work that stop me in my tracks.
Moments when I sit quietly afterwards and think…
This. This is why I do this.

Recently, after a shamanic soul retrieval session, my client shared some words with me that I honestly don’t think I’ll ever forget.
She told me:

“I felt completely relaxed and safe.”
“I feel like I have returned home.”

For decades, she has lived with body dysmorphia and the weight of an endless stream of “I should be.........”
And then she said:

“A million ‘I shoulds’ — all just gone.”
“The level of acceptance I have all at once is so mind-boggling.”
“All the self-hatred and low self-worth has just been replaced with a quiet peace.”
“All the mental load and negative voices are all just GONE.”

And then came the words that made me smile, because sometimes the simplest description says everything:
“Body acceptance is a language I NEVER thought I would learn. It’s like I’ve woken up and can speak fluent Japanese!”

Wow.

I don’t take moments like this lightly.
I know that one session doesn’t define someone’s journey, and I would never claim that this work is a replacement for medical or psychological support.

But what I can do is create a space where someone feels safe.
A space where they can put down, even for a little while, the expectations, the shoulds, the noise, the judgement…
…and reconnect with themselves.
And sometimes, in that reconnection, something shifts.
Something softens.
Something that has been lost, forgotten or pushed away can begin to feel close again.
And perhaps that is what “coming home” really feels like.
Not becoming someone different.
But remembering the person who was there all along.

This is why I do this work.
Because witnessing someone look at themselves with a little more kindness…
feeling a little more whole…
breathing a little more freely…
and discovering a quiet peace where there was once so much noise…
is an absolute privilege.
And I will never, ever take that privilege for granted.

Welcome home, beautiful soul 🩵

There’s something incredibly special about watching someone discover their own creative voice.
Today’s dot mandala workshop filled my heart with joy.
These wonderful ladies have come such a long way. They’re no longer looking to me for every colour choice or wondering what pattern they should create. They’re beginning to trust their own instincts.
Choosing their own colourways.
Playing with different patterns.
Adding their own design elements.
And, most importantly, creating pieces that feel uniquely theirs.
And this is exactly why I f**king teach.
I don’t want to create a room full of copies of my work. I want to give people the skills, confidence and space to discover what their creativity looks like.
For me, dot mandala art is so much more than putting dots onto a surface. It’s about slowing down, getting lost in the rhythm of the patterns, finding a little stillness, and allowing something beautiful to emerge, one dot at a time.
To see these ladies now making their own creative decisions, experimenting and trusting themselves makes me ridiculously happy. 🥰
Because somewhere along the way, they’ve gone from “Can I do this?” to “I wonder what happens if I try this…”
And that, right there, is the magic. 🪄
So proud of you all. Keep exploring. Keep experimenting. Keep creating.
And keep following your own dots. 🩵

Well, I've reached a really special stage in my Celtic Shamanic Practitioner training, and I'm looking for a few of you lovelies who feel called to volunteer for a Soul Retrieval session.

People often ask what Soul Retrieval actually is. The simplest way I can describe it is this...
Sometimes life throws us experiences that shake us to our core. Grief, trauma, heartbreak, illness, or big life changes can leave us feeling as though we've lost a part of ourselves. You might even hear yourself saying, "I just don't feel like me anymore" or "What the f**k is missing cos something sure ain't right".
In shamanism, it's believed that a part of our soul can step away to protect us during those difficult times. Soul Retrieval is a beautiful, gentle healing where I work on your behalf to invite those parts home, helping you reconnect with yourself and remember the wholeness that's always been within you.
As part of my training, I need to complete a number of volunteer sessions. The only thing I ask in return is that you're happy to give me honest feedback afterwards, as that's a requirement of my course.
If this has peaked your interest, I'd love to have a chat. There's absolutely no pressure, just send me a message and we can see if it feels like the right time.
Thank you to everyone who's supported me on this journey so far. Every step has deepened my love for this work, and I feel incredibly honoured to be able to share it.
Much love,
Marie
